It’s time to give your backyard a facelift! From patios to pergolas, you can transform your outdoor space into a charming oasis. Get back to spending time outside with family this summer with our favorite outdoor design ideas.

An arched pergola with bistro lights creates the perfect area for entertaining on warm summer nights. Pergolas have a flexible design, allowing you to truly customize it and bring your imagination to life. This pergola stands on its own, creating an enchanting escape separated from the home.

This patio-pergola duo beautifully accents the home by staying consistent with the color scheme of the home’s exterior. The relaxing seating area right outside the back door is perfect for enjoying morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Breezy Outdoor Dining

Design a beautiful outdoor dining area by expanding your home’s living space. Covered patios protect you from the sun, rain, and prevent leaves and debris from falling on your furniture. Perfect for hosting summer gatherings for family and friends, this outdoor haven lets you enjoy the warm weather and stay outdoors longer.

There’s nothing like putting your feet up at the end of a long day and unwinding next to a cozy outdoor fireplace. Convert a desolate patio into an elegantly decorated space you’ll want to inhabit every day. We can’t think of a more perfect ending to a summer day than making s’mores with the fam.

Laid-back Oasis

Fancy a getaway but don’t have the time or resources? Create your own relaxing oasis in your backyard with a comfortable lounge chair in a charming pergola. This is the perfect hideaway for unplugging from the world and taking time for yourself. You deserve it.

No matter how large or small your backyard is, don’t be afraid to use your imagination and transform it into the retreat of your dreams.
